Jay Park, the Korean American artist who helped forge the modern blueprint for idol hip-hop stardom, will release a surprise single Monday evening, leaning into the sultry R&B that has served as his calling card.

The track, titled "Daddy," arrives on digital streaming platforms at 6 p.m., marking Park’s first solo release since "Keep It Sexy (Mommae 2)" roughly 15 months ago.

Since departing the K-pop boy band 2PM nearly two decades ago, the 39-year-old performer has spent his career constructing a bridge between Seoul’s idol ecosystem and Western urban contemporary music.

Produced by Ben10k — the American beatmaker whose credits include collaborations with Drake, Chris Brown and Don Toliver — "Daddy" anchors Park’s smooth vocals atop a lush, groove-heavy rhythmic foundation paired with deliberately provocative lyrics. According to his agency, the track is intended as a direct continuation of the polished aesthetic that defined his mid-career creative revival.

The surprise drop arrives in a period of intense global activity for the singer, who is currently nearly two decades into his entertainment career. Having recently wrapped a celebratory multi-night encore run in Seoul, Park is set to debut the live version of "Daddy" during the upcoming international legs of his ongoing world tour, "Serenades & Body Rolls." The tour will take him across arenas in North and South America, as well as Europe, over the coming months.

Rather than attempting to reinvent his artistic identity, Park's latest release feels like a confident victory lap. By favoring familiar sensual grooves, "Daddy" offers an artist fully comfortable in his own skin, playing to the strengths that built his international fanbase.

韩裔美国艺术家朴宰范（Jay Park）帮助塑造了现代偶像嘻哈明星的蓝图，他将于周一晚间发布一首惊喜单曲，延续他标志性的性感 R&B 风格。

这首名为《Daddy》的歌曲将于下午 6 点在数字流媒体平台上线，这是朴赞郁自大约 15 个月前的《Keep It Sexy (Mommae 2)》以来首次发行个人单曲。

自近二十年前离开韩国流行男团 2PM 以来，这位 39 岁的表演者一直致力于在首尔的偶像生态系统和西方都市当代音乐之间搭建桥梁。

由曾与 Drake、Chris Brown 和 Don Toliver 等艺人合作的美国音乐制作人 Ben10k 操刀制作的单曲《Daddy》，以朴赞郁流畅的嗓音为基调，搭配律动十足的节奏，以及略带挑衅意味的歌词。据其经纪公司透露，这首歌旨在延续他职业生涯中期复兴时期精致的音乐风格。

这位歌手出道至今已近二十年，此次惊喜发布正值他全球巡演活动密集之际。朴赞郁近期在首尔结束了多场庆祝演出，接下来将在他正在进行的“Serenades & Body Rolls”世界巡回演唱会的国际站中首次公开演唱《Daddy》的现场版。未来几个月，他将在北美、南美以及欧洲的各大场馆进行巡演。

朴赞郁的最新单曲与其说是试图重塑自己的艺术风格，不如说更像是一次自信满满的凯旋巡游。通过运用熟悉的感性旋律，《Daddy》展现了一位完全自在的艺术家，充分发挥了他赖以建立国际粉丝群的优势。
